My engine runs really hot. I just painted my heat shield and the paint is burning up. I used the 500* paint. The engine should not even reach really above 300*. Does anyone have this problem of the engine running so hot. I am thinking about going to get a performance radiator, and then an intercooler when i get my supercharger. Also an oil cooler. Does anyone have these products, if so please discuss the pros & cons for me. Specifically the performance radiator and where and how do I hook up an intercooler into my front vador.

Are you talking about your exhaust heat shield? Your exhaust manifold will get very hot. Ever seen pics of race cars and turbo cars with glowing manifolds? 500 degree paint is just not sufficient for the heat shield, but will work on valve covers and the like. |
